Node.js v20 on IBM i

November 6, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

It is time to get back to Node.js on the IBM i.  Node.js v20 is the latest version of this great programming language.  Please note that Node.js v14 moved out of support from April 2023, so time for you all to upgrade, and what should you upgrade to? My recommendation is going to be Node.js […]

A screen a story – Pre-power down system exit point?

November 6, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

The Exit point functionality available within IBM i, is what I would call a hidden gem. If we just look at the Pre-power down Exit Point my guess is you will agree. In my article of last month the Start-up program was handled. Now it is time to look at the Pre-power down program. The […]

A screen a story – IBM i Startup Program QSTRUPPGM?

October 9, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

Although it is possible not to use a Start-up program, finding a customer who does not use one, is like finding a needle in a haystack. Please allow me to use another expression which, when finishing reading this article makes sense for you: “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. All of a sudden, after […]

Language Comparisons Continued …

October 9, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

   In my previous article, I explored a range of functions and delved into how syntax varies across different programming languages. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, I highly recommend giving it a read. You can find the article right here.   As a quick reminder, I’ll be showcasing a […]

A screen a story – the system value QSECURITY

August 9, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

You may wonder what the screen below has to do with the system value QSECURITY. A change in this system value was part of the announcement of IBM i 7.5, which had a strong focus on security. Level 20 is no longer supported and a new system is shipped with level 40. Setting your system […]

Generating PDFs

August 5, 2023 by Andy Youens 1 Comment

Those of you that took a look at my updating of open source packages on IBM I, will know that I have always been one for recommending the convertions of Spool files to PDFs when ever possible. My open source updating article can be found here https://powerwire.eu/open-source-updates/ This article created a spool file of all […]

A screen a story – Sometimes a question mark is not enough

July 7, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

By now you must be getting used to seeing a new version of IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) every time a new Technology Refresh (TR) is released – you are keeping your ptf’s up to date aren’t you?!  In the official announcement letter we can read what is new for ACS, but most people […]

RPG Data-Gen Operational Code

July 6, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

Looking back at when I first started writing articles for PowerWire.eu nine years ago, I was bought onboard to cover RPG articles.  Looking back over the last few years I have failed miserably in this task and maybe got too carried away in the ‘open-source’ frenzy. In this anniversary month for the IBM i we […]

Why Celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the IBM i Platform at the University of Wolverhampton? …Because the Future Won’t Wait!

June 23, 2023 by Herbert Daly 2 Comments

The 21st of June this year marks the 35th anniversary of the launch of the IBM i Platform. This event is quite unusual in a tech industry that typically venerates all things new. Relevance and the realisation of shiny digital futures is typically the highest currency across tech’s chattiest circles. Moreover, why would a university choose […]

According to their website, ‘This tool leverages the power of AI to provide contextual suggestions, code snippets, bug checking and documentation proposals.  Empowering you to write code faster and more efficiently.’ Yes, it […]
